Jackson art teacher is state’s best
Henry M. Jackson High School’s Rick Wigre is the 2015 Washington Art Educator of the Year.
The Washington Art Education Association will recognize his impact on students at its annual conference Oct. 24 in Leavenworth.
Wigre has taught for 32 years. His art students have won local, state and national awards in a variety of mediums.
He also is an artist himself.
But he is best known for integrating so-called traditional arts with digital graphic arts.
He advises the school’s technology club and previously was named the state’s TSA Advisor of the Year and received a National Computer Graphics Contest Advisor Award.
“I feel that many of the years I have been teaching the arts I have been in a vacuum, isolated from the fine arts because of the art media I have pursued, technology,” Wigre said. “It has been a fine bleeding edge to take on this challenge.”
